Description:
The Descartes Centre offers fellowships to promote intellectual exchange and collaboration in the history and/or the philosophy of the sciences and the humanities.
Two kinds of fellowships are available:
- A Junior Fellow conducts research at Utrecht University and/or at Dutch museums or archives, and presents the results of his/her work at one of the colloquia of the Descartes Centre.
- A Senior Fellow not only conducts research but also contributes actively to the Descartes Centre by means of public lectures, research seminars and/or teaching.
Fellows are expected to participate in the activities of the Descartes Centre whenever possible. The start and end date of a fellowship should make such involvement practically feasible.
